Sheldon Museum of Art Main Content

Exhibitions

For more than 50 years, Sheldon Museum of Art has provided a venue for students, faculty and staff, alumni, and visitors to engage with art and one another. As an academic art museum, Sheldon schedules its exhibitions to coincide with the academic calendar.

This exhibition brings together a small group of large works by artists who share an affinity for depicting the figure in a cartoonish, comic style. Paintings by Philip Guston, Peter Saul, Robert Colescott, and Carroll Dunham convey a dynamic visual language rich in symbolic narratives.
